Arch Bridges

TENSA, through its knowledge and experience, is capable of providing solutions for use of cable stays within arch bridges, where they act as hangers, for post-tensioning (arch and deck) and for use of bearings, seismic devices and joints at deck level.

Advantages

To connect arch to deck, TENSA develops new systems improving the quality of construction:

vertical and inclined hangers with parallel strands have been updated to meet client's requirement as electrical insulation or the highest corrosion protection.

30 years’ experience, more than 50 worldwide applications, continuous improvement and innovation have allowed TENSA to stay at the forefront of the stay cables technology, continuously releasing new and customized solutions for its clients.

TENSA offers a complete range of bearings. Almost 30 years of worldwide experience in the field allows TENSA to provide the most appropriate solution to meet all clients' needs. The internal production facility and laboratory allow to keep full control of quality and of delivery times.

TENSA designs and provides different types of expansion joints, which can be used in any structure. TENSA's joints are capable to absorb the structure movements caused by temperature variations, creep, shrinkage, seismic actions, from the smallest to the largest.

TENSA designs, produces, tests and delivers its velocity dependent devices according to specific clients’ needs. These solutions are designed to reduce the seismic structural response by adding important energy dissipation to the system.

TENSA’s rigid connection devices are the most suitable solution when a modification on the structure’s response is required. In fact, they can modify the structure’s condition from static to dynamic and distribute the entrance seismic force in different positions.

Thanks to its high quality displacement dependent devices TENSA is able to guarantee a perfect control of maximum loads activated during an earthquake between the connected elements, independently of the seismic intensity and frequency.
